You do NOT “have to.” It is a nice occasion though, since as PP pointed out, when else will you get to wear one? Birdcage veils are much smaller and totally cute, you could try that. Or a cute headpiece. Just something special, for sure!

I’m not wearing one. I recently decided I wouldn’t be wearing any kind of hair accessory, which seems to go against the recent trend of flowers, feathers, and fascinators. But my dress has a ton of detail, and my necklace is going to be fairly eye-catching as well. I decided ultimately that a hairpiece would be too much. I’m just going to have a simple updo.

I really did not want one at all. I was very adament. Then when I was having a fitting they put one on me- opposite of what I ever could picture even if I did want one, I burst into tears on the spot. I loved it and it made my dress. Try a bunch on at least you never know!
